I Have That Person in My Data Base (a brief rant)

I can accept the notion that a person has been spoken with or contacted.

I cannot accept the answer that they are in your data base.

Respectfully, so what if it is in your data base?

I am not investing resources to be a firm's tickler system, prompting them to contact potential employees.

Place yourself in another's shoes.

You are spending time (money) to find, evaluate, assess and refer someone. That person has not been contacted by the client (you) yet and then you are told, "They are in my data base."

Is that the way you want your firm to do business?

Is that fair? Do you believe you are being honest when you have failed to take action on someone and use someone to remind you to call them?

I understand that mistakes happen. I make them and you make them. Everyone does. Don't punish someone who works for free to help you unless they are successful by setaling their efforts.
